hi Chloe its all to do with our auntie with dementia.she has lived at our dads for just over 3 years now we cared for her before during and after our dads death our other auntie created vicious rumours about my sister niece and myself probably the whole time.cast aside because of greed no ounce of thanks or sympathy towards us.even the lawyer said my families statement is the worst case of character assassination she had ever seen even although they hardly know us just going on another aunt words no one even questioning the whole sham created against us.now we have had to come to an agonising decision to place our aunt in to a care home not because we want to but because of all the hurt other family have caused.this is my fear that after giving so much over the years my sister will have an almighty crash the reality of being parentless will hit home and she wont be helping care for our aunt.its just as well she has me just cant understand why our family done what they done but my sister isn't leaving it at that she wants my family to stand up in court and tell a judge how they came to believe we put our aunties care at risk and swindle money from her only then will the truth come out and my sister be vindicated and walk away from her family forever with her head held high.

Oh my goodness Kenny kenster1

That's just horrible for you, your sister and ultimately your aunt, bless her. Why do families behave like utter money mad lunatics surrounding a loss, as if it's not bad enough trying to cope with that, I'm so sorry Kenny. Maybe you sister is right but that will be so distressing for you all. I can only hope the right decisions are made by the right people and that this doesn't pull you down any further x

yeah its horrible my sister has taken everything really well biding her time all she wants is for her family to say sorry that's never happened so its coming to the point they will attend court its even worse that the relative causing the trouble was the relative at my dads bedside when he died.cant believe how horrible a family can be.

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to kenster1]

I am just so sorry that you are facing more anguish in your life, take one day at a time Kenny, it's the only way to get through.

Gosh, Kenster, that really is a minefield of bad news, I am so sorry you all are going through that. |I hope you three can all draw strength from each other and get over this eventually. I'll keep you all in my prayers till your through.

This evening I have just come back from my local sports centre and 45 minutes in the swimming pool. So now I can add "very good" to my list. After a busy day, I was not sure what I would be able to do. Swimming has been a passion for many years because it is possible to achieve something every time I go and that helps maintain my self-esteem. My tip to everyone for next years is to keep a list of your achievements handy for when you get down.

I'm not too bad. Had a right old cry in the car going to funeral directors yesterday to drop off some papers. But it passed & started to talk about happy times & funny anecdotes.

This morning I've got up with a nervous tummy, but that's normal at the moment. I'm taking myself out later- meeting my cousins.

HI Da0308

Sorry to read that but I'm very glad you are pushing yourself to carry on and get out, that's good. Take good care of yourself.

I feel "very". very tired / very sad / very tearful.

Some times I do feel happy or similar but those moments seem to be by chance or spontaneously. Those moments don't seem to readily come to mind.

[chloe40 Administrator]

So sorry you're feeling like this Greyone xx
